The International Atomic Energy Agency said on Monday it has been informed by the United Arab Emirates that off-site power was restored to Unit 3 of the Barakah nuclear power plant following the drone strike on Sunday.
Sunday’s drone strike caused a fire at an electrical generator outside the inner perimeter of the Barakah nuclear power plant, with authorities confirming that safety levels were unaffected and no radioactive material was released.
The Barakah Nuclear Power Plant began operations in 2020 and is 200 kilometres (120 miles) west of the UAE’s capital Abu Dhabi, near the borders with Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
Rafael Grossi, the head of the UN’s nuclear agency, condemned the attack.
